Fences and gates in Valley Glen
Where a rear unit exists, the fence stops being one line and becomes a plan: a private line for the main house, a defined path and gate for the rear tenant, and hardware rated for daily use rather than occasional. Getting that layout right up front avoids rebuilding it later.

What changes in Valley Glen.
Two households, two lines
A lot with a rear unit gets a private line for the main house and its own clear path and gate to the back.
Gates used all day
Hinges, latches and closers are chosen for gates that open many times a day, by more than one household.
The line, set out first
Old fences, sheds and garage walls often sit near the boundary. The new line is marked out before anything comes down.
